Value bet on a Celtic win

|

Paddy McCourt Celtic newsHow do you get value out of odds of 2/5 on Celtic winning tonight at Inverness?

With the bookies set to clean up over Cheltenham there’s not much value on those odds for a Celtic success tonight.

Without Scott Brown and Mark Wilson there will be a new look to the right side of Neil Lennon’s team with an injury free win the only priority tonight.

Odds of 2/5 won’t get any punter over excited but bet365 have teamed up with Video Celts to offer some value.

By clicking on the link below and making a deposit on a bet365 account you will be sent an email with a code which will double your original deposit.

Your £10 on Celtic can then become £20 with an away win resulting in £28 appearing in your bet365 account… should Celtic do the business tonight.

I used the same principle for the 2-0 win over Hamilton Accies and although it was hardly life changing it was nice to be in the black.

Putting some of those winnings on Barcelona to beat Arsenal brought another boost and once you’ve used your original deposit three times you can get repaid by bet365 into your bank account.

The odds aren’t especially attractive but a couple of safe-ish bets is enough to turn around a modest profit on the bet365 deal and certainly offers a better return than a bank account at the moment!

Despite the scare stories and flashbacks to previous cup defeats from the Highland side Celtic have already played Terry Butcher’s side in cup action this season- winning 6-0 at home in the Co-Operative Cup.

Matches at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium are always closely fought with Paddy McCourt settling the points in the opening match of the season before an unfortunate collision with Shaun Maloney.

McCourt could be a very valuable weapon tonight and will be keen to shine after fading out of the picture since the arrival of Kris Commons.

With Brown and Wilson certain to start against Rangers on Sunday everyone involved tonight will be fighting for their place at Hampden.

There are no u-21 rules in the Co-Operative Cup which gives McCourt, Daryl Murphy and Efrain Juarez a better incentive.

The distractions of Sunday’s match are obvious but assistant manager Johan Mjallby is keeping focussed on tonight’s action.

“We need to beat Inverness first and foremost,” he told the Celtic View. “But it won’t be easy. It’s one of the toughest places to go to and we have to give them respect because they are a good team.

“They work so hard for each other and are a proper, honest team. They have good players but their back-bone is they work so hard for themselves and the team, which is why they’ll be hard to beat.

“But we know what we have to do. We’ll try to get the ball down and pass it with a quick tempo. I think we’re at our best when we do that.”
